That would be nice. Local ponds and lakes could freeze over pretty good.

I'd like to see at least a couple lows below -10c at YVR though. Deal?

Because of the rarity of the phenomena.

I would jump all over that like a mule. Our sledding hill and skating rink would both be prime time. 20 cm is nothing to laugh at around here, and having cold to lock it in would be just fabulous. But if we got say 40 cm and a couple days of cold I ain't complaining about that either.

I agree. If and when posting maps, please make a few notes of what you see. Clearly if you are posting maps you can at least understand them somewhat so if you guys could add just a few comments so the people who can't read maps will at least know what you see as well, and it will make it more enjoyable for them/everyone. :thumbup:

As you’d expect all the models will fall inline with the euro tonight in regards to any wind potential. Best bet for warning criteria will be Victoria. Should be a strong westerly surge tonight. I see EC has updated the warning to 90kmhr gusts.

Looks like a quick but powerful windstorm.

Do you see string winds for the chilliwack area as a possibility?

00Z RGEM and HRDPS is similar to the Euros solution. Wind warning may be expanded to include other Lower Mainland regions soon. :thumbup:

With the low deepening as it tracks inland I would expect strong southerlies at some point overnight.
